Impressive service model from @Avis, they got rid of all their human labor without automating anything.

A fertility rate below 1.6 means 50% less new people after three generations, say 100 years. Below 1.2 means an 80% drop. The U.S. is at 1.64. China, Japan, Poland, Spain all below 1.2. South Korea is at 0.7—96% drop. Mass extinction numbers.

Gambling is one thing I’ve flipped on as I got older. I used to laugh off the critics and think of gambling as “a tax on those who can’t do math” but I’ve come to think that’s cruel (and regressive) and paternalism is good here. This paper is another brick in that new wall.

The trajectory of most sports is that you are never seeing the GOAT, but rather the GUUN (Greatest Up Until Now). All Time is crazy arrogant.


Honestly fuck @peacock and @NBCOlympics and @Olympics. The games are completely unwatchable with the number of ads and dead time. You're ruining a great event.

The remarkable thing here is not that there are errors. Every system has them. It’s the scale of error that makes this fraud at a massive scale. 50% (~$8billion) of United’s health revenue may come from diagnosis codes that don’t apply to patients.
